Networked Embedded Control of Modular Robot Manipulators Using VDC
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a networked embedded control of modular robot manipulators without using joint torque sensing is presented. The proposed solution uses an effective control and communication mechanism based on the virtual decomposition control (VDC) approach with embedded FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation. A hierarchical master-slaves control structure is used, supported by a high speed communication data bus. The master computer handles only kinematics computation and the dynamics-based computations are all performed by individual embedded FPGA module controllers. The virtual stability of each module is ensured, resulting in the L2/L∞ stability of the entire robot. Experimental results achieved on a threemodule robot manipulator using harmonic drives are presented.

This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...
